RAA Responds to DOT Tarmac Delay Rule

The Regional Airline Association (RAA) today filed comments in response to the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing the adoption of additional regulations that intend to improve passenger protections in air travel.

“Providing an outstanding travel experience for our valued customers is a goal RAA shares with its member airlines, the Department of Transportation, and other aviation stakeholders,” said RAA Vice President-Legislative Affairs Faye Malarkey Black. Black continued: “We urge DOT to reconsider its proposed rule, however, to reduce the possibility of causing unintended confusion or inconvenience to the traveling public, particularly those passengers traveling to or from the 75 percent of our nation’s airports that rely on regional airlines, exclusively, for scheduled air service.”
